On The Wire

Oh what a terrible day, I want a quick fix

I'm coming round for sympathy, can you show it?

I need a little maternal love, no assistance

Now I'm so upset because I forget how you show it

Heard something I don't like

Tried your best to get it right

Too bad I'm served over ice

You're on the wire

And you might wanna tread a little lighter

One mistake, you fall into the fire

You may be tense, but I bet I'm wound tighter

Tried your best, still I'm upset, and you're on the wire

Another Saturday night, young band on the road

Decision time, a big talk brews, and we know it

Say your piece, move on, yeah, that's how it goes

I get so attached, I'm feeling attacked, and they know it

Heard something I don't like

Tried your best to get it right

Too bad I'm served over ice

You're on the wire

And you might wanna tread a little lighter

One mistake, you fall into the fire

You may be tense, but I bet I'm wound tighter

Tried your best, still I'm upset

And you're on the wire

The way I stare you down, I don't like it either

Maybe I should be a little kinder

I'm icing out the ones that I admire

Tried your best, still I'm upset, and you're on the wire

Oh, hmm

Tried your best, I'm upset, and you're on the wire

(You're on the, you're on the, you're on the wire, baby)

(You're on the, you're on the, you're on the wire)

You're on the wire

(You're on the, you're on the, you're on the wire, baby)

Ohhh

(You're on the, you're on the, you're on the wire)

You're on the wire

And you might wanna tread a little lighter

One mistake, you fall into the fire, yeah

You may be tense, but I bet I'm wound tighter

Tried your best, still I'm upset

And you're on the wire

The way I stare you down, I don't like it either

Maybe I should be a little kinder

I'm icing out the ones that I admire
